Does anyone know why all the user computers would randomly start notifying each user when they print anything with a notification blip stating that "your document has sucessfully be sent to 'printer name'."? None of them were showing such alerts a week ago.

You can disable this by following these instructions on your print server.

Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.

From the File menu, click Server Properties.

On the Advanced tab, click to clear Notify when Remote Documents are Printed.

Stop and restart the Spooler service from the Services portion of Control Panel so the new setting will take effect. In Windows 2000, start and restart the Spooler service from the Services snap-in under Administrative Tools.
